I've been coming here for over a year to do my waxing. I decided to do my nails as well during today's visit. But it was a mistake. I wanted something that I've gotten before, a white matte finish with a glitter line down the middle, after the white matte finish so the glitter could keep its shine. This girl did the matte finish on top of my glitter line, I had explained to her how I wanted it. She then asked another worker there ( not sure if it was the owner ) but she was an older lady with short hair and glasses, she literally was trying to Argue with me on how you don't do glitter on top of my matte coat, and it's done under neath. Lady, I have done this before ! Smh Finally the younger lady did it how I was saying. But the nerve of that lady! Needless to say I won't be coming back here to do my nails. I still like the girl that does my waxing read more

Back again with Rachel for a gel manicure this time! Just told her what color I wanted and she said how about a design and I told her something simple and she did her thing! Love them :) read more

Both times I went in for gel and acrylic, I bled from the drill thing they use and it hurts. The second time I went in, 4 of my nails came off with in 6 days. The shapes of the nails were also uneven. I very rarely get my nails done because I cant afford it. This time I spent the money and tipped well only to have bleeding fingers, uneven nails that came off 6 days later. read more

I decided to get my eyebrows done here because I was in the area and I love them! Julie did such an amazing job!! I'm very picky about my eyebrows not being too thin but she made them look flawless in time for my wedding thank you read more

Rachel is great! She always takes good care of my toes. Thank you Rachel. See you soon.

If you come here avoid Nancy doing your nails. Last time we come to this place. Came to get a mani+pedi and everything was great at the start. For the pedicure she didn't polish all the way up which is fine, I let that go. But when she began to do my grandmas manicure I asked her nicely to polish the whole nail since she left the top part unpolished & she got upset and started grabbing and polishing my grandmas nails aggressively. She did not do any cuticle care and only trimmed and painted the nails for the manicure. $20 manicure no gel and paint on your fingers. Regret trying this place out. However, the second star is for the man( didn't get his name) that did my grandma's pedicure as he was very sweet. read more

I have been here a couple of times now and I actually enjoy my time here. I think they do a good job overall. I didn't give 5 stars because they do take a while to complete their tasks and when doing a pedicure they don't use new/fresh tools. Or at least when I get my pedicures there I notice the person doing my pedi always brings the tools out from a drawer and when scrubbing my feet I don't like that they quickly put their hands and scrubber in the water to clean off the scrubber and put it back in the drawer. Don't seem healthy reusing materials and tools on others. read more

This is my second review and I want to say that River Nail Spa does a great job. Monique does my gel mani & pedi and it looks really good, never lifts, chips or cracks, I can go for about 3 weeks with the gel polish looking just as good as day one! Thanks Monique you are the best! read more

This place is a lovely salon! It's spacious, very clean, and extremely close to my house (always a +). They seem to have instruments packaged before each use, maybe sterilized in the back area, and when a customer left, I saw them clean out the tub, which is relief since they do not use those cheap plastic slips. Kobie did my mani while Kelly did my pedi at the same time. I like the idea of a tag team, as my time there went by extremely fast. I was there less than an hour, and they didn't skimp out on my hand and foot massage. Both ladies did a fabulous job! I normally don't go to salons on a regular basis, but I was in desperate need of a cuticle clean up. I got a gel for my mani, and even though my pedi wasn't gel, they managed to match the color almost perfectly! I can't even tell the difference! My only knock down was the fact that they constantly talk to each other, and since I don't speak Vietnamese, it made me a little uncomfortable, but I don't know any salon where they don't do that. Glad they also accept CCs since I totally forgot to go to the bank. It's my first time here, so all in all, a very happy first visit. Thank, ladies! read more

I came here for a simple manicure & pedicure . First off for the manicure I had this old man work on me & I was happy because he didn't cut me but when it came to the polish it was so streaky & uneven & horrible . Mind you it was just regular polish not gel , so he didn't even give me the small fan to dry them , when he finished he told me to get up & go to the massage chairs for my pedicure , the polish was still dry & I had to grab my phone & purse & right away my polish got ruined bc he didn't give me time to dry them . I just told him to take it off & do clear polish . EVEN with the clear polish it was so streaky & bumpy it was awful. When he did my pedicure he cut my nails uneven & the clear polish again was horrible. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

I just got my nail fixed & the man who did my nail had to fix it 2 times. He cut me up , & he was filing my skin and my nail. He didn't even bother to clean the nail polish... ugh. Only reason why I didn't put 1 Star because the lady who did my pedicure, took her time & they look really good. read more

I have been coming here for the longest time, and for good reason, too. The ladies here are always very attentive, so I never feel like they're rushing to get done. I have had the pleasure of getting my full sets, mani/pedi's, and waxes done by Monique, Julie, Tina, and many others. The environment is very relaxed and the prices are so reasonable. It's why I keep coming back. I just recently came in this past Sunday and Monique was able to give me the nail shape I wanted, even when they tend to be VERY time consuming. I'm a nail biter, so getting acrylics is the only way my nails can look good. She doesn't berate me for having tiny nails and I appreciate that so much. I have always been self conscious about my nails, so it feels good to know that she won't point them out. Anyway, that same day and up until now, I have been getting constant compliments on my nails. I love them so much and I am in constant awe over how well they last. So thanks again, Monique! So if you're looking for a place that is fairly inexpensive and want some stunning nails, come here and ask for Julie or Monique. You won't regret it. read more

If I could give this a no stars I would, it took 3 hours to get my nails done I asked the guy ahead of time if he knew how to do the almond shape nails and he said yes they did it the normal way old fashion way and then he filed them down to shape them and they are so ugly! They are slanted and so ugh ! I asked him to fix them and he made them worse ! I regret getting them done, one side is longer then the other !!! I didn't even want to stay to get them painted I just wanted to get out ! read more

I think a 2.5 star would be a more accurate representation of my experience. Definitely didn't deserve a 3. I initially wanted to get my nails done at Queen Nails on Amar in La Puente but my friends wanted to go to this one so I decided to try this one out. Came in on the day before Christmas Eve and it was surprisingly not crowded (most nail salons are crowded on a normal day and even more crowded during the holidays). We were seated quickly (there was 5 of us). I wanted a dark blue gel mani with a swirly design on my ring finger. I was able to get the exact color I wanted which was awesome. The lady who painted my nails did a good job but somehwow managed to cut my thumb while buffing my nail. Monique did my design and it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I got the design from the Queen Nails' instagram (@queennailslapuente) so I knew if I wanted it exactly like that I should have gone there. But anyways, A for effort but a C for how the design looks. I understand my nail was pretty short but I think it couldv'e been done a lot better. My friends also didn't have the best experience either. One of my friends got a gel manicure and got cut really bad it wouldn't stop bleeding. My other friends had issues with the colors and also not enough layers of the color so you could see her nail still underneath the paint. Overall, if you're in the walmart area you might as well go inside of walmart and get your nails done at Regal Nail Salon. (They gave me a free flower design last time I went!) Or even better, head out to Queen Nails Salon, it's only about 5-10 min from walmart. Won't be coming back here, sorry! read more

I do not recommend this place. I think you kid or niece could do a better job! Went yesterday to get medium long acrylic nails. And walked out with short stubby nails!! Then guy who was doing my nails made them round at the edges when I clearly said square. My nails where crooked lumpy and even had a hair stuck in the acrylic! Gross!! The guy cut me multiple times. I finally walked away and went to someone else in the salon to fix the horrible job he had done and I was so frustrated I wanted them to be removed and they trimmed them hoping there was a possibility on saving them but no I was so over it. I got home to fix them a little by removing all the excess gel and acrylic and glue the guy had left on my hands and finger tips. They just do a horrible job read more

This place does a good job with their services, Except they do not sanitize their tools! They do not sanitize their stones and this caused an infection on my foot the very day after. It was confirmed by my doctor. I am very disappointed, because I now need to take oral medication for their lack of respect to others. I am sure they are not using the stones or the tools on themselves to do pedicures unless they are sanitized or new. This is not a free service, not sure why they don't care about their clients. People be careful where you get your tows done. Feet infections are extremely contagious. read more

Ive stopped coming here for a while, idk why thinking i was going to find a better nail place .. i was wrong lol This is totally my number one place to go do my mani. Rachel did my gel mani with french tip and did such a great job ! Thanks girl ! She also did my pedi. Going with her from now. read more

2nd time I've been here and have received outstanding service! The 1st time I was serviced right away by Hang who did my manicure and I was so comfortable seeing how careful and precise he was being. He was also very friendly though we could not communicate very much with each other it was a pleasant time. The 2nd time was for a mani/pedi and they, once again, serviced me right away. This time I brought my daughter with me and saw there were other kids there too. One kind and friendly woman, who I unfortunately do not have the name of, gave a little girl a quick Halloween themed pedicure for free after she was done with her mother and then did my actual pedicure while making conversation with my daughter and while mine dried, gave my daughter a quick Halloween themed manicure for free as well. My 5 yr old was ecstatic! Will see them again soon. read more

Really bad service and bad attitude towards me and job ask for on nails was not what I expected. I do not recommend this place really bad customer service. And one of the young one that works there that did my nails was on her phone the whole time took her sweet time to do everything and still did messy job I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place I would give it a no star but don't allow read more

So, very unfortunate a worker can feel that it's appropriate to throw things because I didn't like the color I choose. When she had just polished one toe nail. I understand, the inconvenience and would pay for the her time and service. However, her behavior was very unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable. Never will I give this place my business and unfortunate she behaved in such way especially around my two children. read more

I know I said I would never be back but I gave in & decide to give them another try. This time I was greeted upon arrival & I was sat in a pedi chair right away. The reason why my star raiting is remaining the same is because I felt Like I overpaid for the services compared to my usual place. I paid $50 for a gel mani/pedi. I usualy pay $42 where I go. Plus I was not happy with my hands, the girl did a sloppy job in filing my nails. I had them squared round & she overfiled the corners & made them round. Plus my nails look like they already need to be redone.... the only positive I can say is that I'm happy with the way my pedi turned out. read more

It was my first time here and my last. The elderly man didn't know how to do anything he cut off my nail crooked, the paint in my toes were bumpy from the cheap nail polish they used. He didn't even scrub my feet I still had dead skin on it. Not only did they mess up my nails but they messed up my sisters nails the lady who was doing hers was in a rush for no reason they weren't even packed. Just a horrible experience over all. read more

River Nails was my go to! Since it opened.I would get my full set, pedicure, eye brows waxed, and even facials. I was getting a gel manicure and the color that I picked off the palette did not match when she applied it on my nail. The lady attending me said "you have to keep in mind the paint on the palette is old" which I said that's fine, but I would like to change the color it doesn't matter if if I have to pay extra. She began talking in her language and all of the sudden every employee in the room began commenting in their language. I felt bad because I had to change it but I did not like the color so I apologized to her and she ignored me and just continued to talk in her language. One of the other employees came to look at my nails and began commenting and they kept looking at me and commenting ( I mean you can just tell when they're talking shit) this is completely unprofessional and disrespectful. I would understand if I was a bitch about it but I wasn't + I said I would pay extra. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

I have never had a good experience here and neither has my mom and sisters. The employees here are rude, at least the ones we have encountered. I'm giving this place 2 stars because it's cheap in price other than that I would have given it 1. But you get what you pay for. While I was getting mani and pedi the employees were talking throughout my entire session, and at one point made a joke about my legs. Even though they weren't speaking in English it was completely obvious. The woman got so distracted that she cut me not once but TWICE ! I left without tipping them and I didn't feel guilty at all. They did a shitty job, it honestly looks like I did them on my own. read more
